Solution:

Refer to the transistor bias circuit shown in Figure 453,

Given that the base current of a transistor is,
IB 50 mA 50 103 A
VCC 5 V
A voltage of 5 Volts is dropped across collector resistance R C
That is, VR C 5 V
The collector current is given by,
VR 5V
IC C 5 mA
R C 1.0 k
The DC current gain of the transistor is given by,
I 5 mA
DC C 0.1
I B 50 mA
Hence, the DC current gain of the transistor is,
DC 0.1
